She is winter incarnate: flawless, untouchable, a weapon forged in frost.
Iseryn Valdrath, the Chief Diplomat's daughter, was born to contain. Her absolute zero magic is the Dominion's perfect blade-until she's sent to broker peace with the enemy at the Threshold, a neutral fortress over the rotting Severance. There, she meets her undoing.
She is a wildfire: scarred, relentless, a dragonblood warrior who consumes all she holds sacred.
Kaelith Moren commands the Pyre Court's fading dragons, her veins a furnace of destruction. Duty demands she exploit the Fae's weaknesses-but one touch ignites a lethal resonance, their opposing magics fusing into blinding gold.
Their hatred is instant. Their hunger is catastrophic.
As the Unraveling accelerates-dragons plummeting from ash-choked skies, permafrost cracking into gray sludge-their psychic tether deepens. Every clash of fire and ice rehearses the ritual that could mend the world... at the cost of their souls.
But when ancient journals reveal the Sundering's true origin-a lovers' desperate flinch-Iseryn and Kaelith must choose: surrender to annihilation, or let pride doom the continent.
A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance with high-heat tension, world-ending stakes, and a sapphic HEA.- Forbidden ice-fire chemistry (explicit MMF-worthy scenes)
- Dragonrider grief & Fae court intrigue
- Ritual magic that demands total surrender
- Wet-on-wet alchemy motif
